Vertigo vs. HMTMKMKM

[gherman]

Killer guitar rifs from The Egde, similar structure, driving beat, and swagger, but which one do you like better?

 

[U2Man]

native son

 

[craigp]

hold me

 

[Tiger Edge]

HMTMKMKM is ten times the song Vertigo is.

 

[Zoots]

Hold Me Thrill Me is much better, sexier and less cheesy than the ridiculously overrated Vertigo. On some days, Hold Me Thrill Me is my favorite song of the 90s.

vertigo

Knowing you, I'm gonna guess you're joking.

 

[cdisantis83]

Hold Me is much stronger lyrically, in my opinion.

"Believing in yourself almost as much as you doubt"

 

[xaviMF22]

Vertigo is a joke


HMTMKMKM FTW!

 

[Smallville]

Vertigo

 

[waynetravis]

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vertigo

 

[gherman]

My vote is for the ass on waynetravis's sig.

 

[BVS]

Not even a contest, the songs shouldn't even be in the same category.

Hold Me, hands down. But it's really not fair that's apples to oranges.

 

[The Disciple]

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

 

[vaz02]

Hold me

 

[kingofsorrow]

why put vertigo against anything else in the u2 catalog? it's the weakest song ever. the lyrics are shite, the chorus is pointless and the title is...................................well stupid. your putting a "pop" song against a bunch off real songs.

 

[Peterrrrr]

Easy, Vertigo. After seing Vertigo live, Vertigo2 live and hearing a lot of live versions with all the snippets and Bono's amazing FEEL's and KNEEL's, I can only say its one of their most powerful songs live.

I forgot this is a "We Hate HTDAAB" forum.

Exactly! A better comparison would be Vertigo vs. Elevation.

Keeping with the topic, I think it would be interesting to see what people feel about...

"Live" Vertigo/Stories For Boys (snippet) vs. "Studio" Hold Me Thrill Me

I was never a huge fan of Hold Me Thrill Me live. Whereas I love Vertigo live, esp. that snippet! I guess all the more cos I was able to experience it live.

Holy shit! I've never seen this.

Those lights! Those colors! Popmart dvd, where art thou?

Well... I take back what I said about Hold Me (Live). I do enjoy it. But I also enjoy the awesome transition of Vertigo to Stories For Boys (snippet) Live. So that one's a toughie.

 

[xaviMF22]

Holy shit! I've never seen this.

obviously you are not a true U2 fan...

 

[Zoots]

Haha! I only have the Popmart Santiago dvd and it didn't have this song.

It did have an amazing version of MOTD though!

 

[coolian2]

I'd like to abstain from voting.

While Vertigo is the song that made me sit up and take notice of U2 in my adult life, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me was the U2 song I loved in my youth, and I still love it

 

[jedi Larry]

Hold Me,Thrill Me. I like Vertigo, but HMTM is a much better song. It has some nice changes whereas Vertigo pretty much stays put form beginning to end.....same beat, same bass.

 

[Bono's shades]

I really, really, really loved Vertigo when I first heard it. However, it just didn't hold up for me over the long run. It's all flash without enough substance.

HMTMKMKM on the other hand is flash with plenty of substance underneath.

 

[Irishteen]

Studio: Hold Me, Thrill Me...
Live: Vertigo

 

[coolian2]

Vertigo ruled the stadiums.


How those little beaded curtains ever got the same effect across....

 

[mandrake]

both

 

[Aygo]

These songs shouldn't be on comparison.
Both rockers, but different kind of songs, different "spirit" and different function and effect when played live.
